"It's me."
Ronan smiled and nodded at Grace.
In fact, this was the first time they truly formally met.
Last time, it was when Hoddam Academy faced a disastrous fate, and Grace was hurriedly fleeing with her mother, that they exchanged a quick glance.
"Sigh—sigh—"
Grace was incredibly excited, perhaps even she didn't know why she was so thrilled to see Ronan again.
She paced quickly in front of Ronan like a child, her expression almost jubilant.
"Princess, this one..."
"Friend!"
The Silver-haired Witch walked up from behind, puzzled, but before she could finish, Grace had already swiftly answered.
"An old friend I haven't seen for a long time."
Grace emphasized seriously, and somewhat embarrassedly glanced at Ronan.
She was not sure if Ronan also considered her as a friend, but judging from his previous actions to save her, he probably did.
Ronan, seeing the innocently pure Grace, felt unexpectedly better.
